NLP Presuppositions

NLP Presuppositions are the underlying principles behind how NLPers think. They’re not necessarily true, and they’re useful as a base line for thinking about behaviour.

NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) is a collection of techniques that gives you insights into behaviours, so you can understand, influence and create change. It gives you insight into your own behaviours and those of others. I use it in all of my work. Consciously or not. So here are the maxims that NLP work from:

About “me”

If it’s possible in the world, it’s possible for me, it’s only a question of how.

For things to change, first I must change.

If it’s going to be, it’s up to me.

There is no failure, only feedback.

Cindy Tonkin has written a few guides to NLP processes, but these are only tools: NLP underlies much of how she works on programs like Presentation Mastery, Make no Sound like Yes, and Smarter Data People.
